    I’ve got a report to finish for a customer but I’m too busy to watch a dot not move quickly enough. Do you think the customer would understand if I told them the real reason they’re getting the report tomorrow?

    My work place allowed people 2 hours off last week for football, but apparently won’t allow me a few hours to drink tea and watch dots, gits…..

    As you say i think physically you just turn into a machine, but i think it is the mental tiredness that really gets to them now with wrong turns and losing bearings and making simple mistakes.

    23 miles to go and Lael is 25 miles ahead! Shaggy is right, they’re not refreshing quick enough though

    She’s only going to blinkin do it! That is a stunning ride and when you see her on vids taken by people spectating on FB she seems to somehow still be raising a smile. Crazy how a race of this length can come down to such a tight finish a perhaps a single wrong turn or puncture.

    That is pure class, i think she has pretty much taken 18 days dead on or thereabouts? Mike Halls time was 17 days 16 hours, so only 8 hours difference.

    What a finish 😯

    I think it would be hard to establish a definitive record as there are so many variables weather wise along the route.
    We experienced headwinds that lasted a week which stunted our speeds to sub 10mph on the flats across Kansas. I recall a couple of days in Colorado and Wyoming where when we were giving it everything 7mph was all we could muster.

    Huge respect to those that attempt and complete these races. Their mental fortitude is mesmerising.
